We have been focusing on heatsinks quite a bit lately.
Many of us pay close attention to heatsink combos and case cooling
but chipset cooling is not something that comes to our mind naturally.
That’s the reason why we haven’t seen competitive
chipset coolers from many manufacturers. There is not a constant
battle among chipset coolers these days. After the Consumer Electronics
Show, Thermaltake went ahead and introduced their next generation
products. Among these products were enhanced Xaser cases, VGA
coolers, and chipset coolers.
Continuing with their ‘Extreme’ line
of products, Thermaltake introduced the Thermaltake Extreme Spirit
Cooler for Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets. Thermaltake’s
extreme line of products has been really successful thus far and
we expect to see the same results from the Extreme Spirit.
Accessories:
The Spirit came with unbelievable amount of accessories.
The accessories include 1 x blower fan, 1 x blue heatsink, 4 x
screws for fans, 1 x clip, 2 x push pins, 2 x washers, 2 x spring
clips, 1 x thermal tape, 2 x blue RAMsink, 1 x fan speed switch,
1 x installation sheet and a pouch of thermal compound.
The installation sheet showed three installation
methods in simple English. The sheet had self-explanatory diagrams
with steps printed above the diagrams. As always, the sheet was
very professionally designed. The necessary materials were included
for the proper installation of the Spirit.
